Analysis: Astragalus, ginseng, and atractylodes are all good for replenishing qi. Our cinnamon is a yang-warming medicine. On the other hand, we chose some rehmannia glutinosa and used a very small amount. Rehmannia glutinosa nourishes yin, and we also used tangerine peel, which has the functions of strengthening the spleen, appetizing, and promoting qi. In addition, for glue, we chose deer antler glue, which has the effect of warming yang. At the same time, it is a flesh-and-blood product, and its warming effect will be more perfect.
Preparation method:
The method is as follows: 1. First put astragalus, atractylodes, white tuckahoe, rehmannia glutinosa, tangerine peel, parsnips and red dates into a large casserole and soak for three days. hours
2. At the same time, steam the white ginseng in a pot for ten minutes, then take out the white ginseng slices, then place it in a casserole and cook separately for 30 minutes, decant the juice and set aside.
3. Boil the cinnamon over medium heat for 15 minutes, then pour out the concoction and set aside.
4. Break the antler glue into pieces, pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine, and steam for an hour and a half.

After adding the water, first bring it to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat and simmer for an hour and a half, then decant out the medicinal soup. This is the first bowl. Set it aside for later use. Next, follow the above steps, and then Decoct the second bowl of medicinal soup and the third bowl of medicinal soup respectively. Set aside the third bowl of medicinal soup and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Pour the three bowls of precipitated medicinal soup into a clean casserole, pour in the white ginseng juice and cinnamon soup at the same time, bring to a boil over high heat, and wait until the water in the medicinal soup is almost evaporated. After the concoction is concentrated like this, change to a small pot and continue to cook. When you see big bubbles coming out of the concoction, you can add antler glue and honey. Next, be sure to stir constantly, otherwise It will stick to the pot. When the concoction in the pot can be along the edge of the wooden spatula and "hang a flag" on the wooden spatula, the production is completed, and then it can be put into a porcelain bottle. This It’s seven days’ worth.

Ms. Xu catches colds more frequently.
What is the concept of reporter frequency?
Ms. Xu’s concept comes about once or twice a month, basically every month.
I felt that Ms. Xu’s colleague had been catching a cold, so when we saw her, we said, Xu Hui, you are feeling cold again. I think it should be at least twice a month.
Explanation: Ms. Xu is a fabric appraiser for a company. This job is very fashionable and satisfying, but frequent colds are her biggest worry.
At the beginning, Ms. Xu’s throat may be dry and it may hurt to drink water. Maybe on the second day or so, her cough will become more severe and her nose will runny. In the morning, there will be some Thick nasal discharge. During the day, when the wind blows, there may be some clear nasal discharge, and then there may be a fever.
Explanation: Sore throat, stuffy nose, runny nose, fever. Every time a cold comes, it is the most difficult time for Ms. Xu.
In Ms. Xu’s house, I think the most expensive thing now is to wipe with paper. I keep wiping it with a runny nose and keep wiping it.
Our company usually distributes facial tissue to Ms. Xu’s colleague every month. We haven’t finished half of the box yet, and she has already replaced several boxes.
Ms. Xu is very troublesome and uncomfortable. Moreover, I couldn't sleep well because I was so depressed, because I kept coughing. At night, my cough would get worse.
Explanation: For Ms. Xu, frequent colds are no longer just a matter of wasting money, but sometimes they can also affect others.
Ms. Xu, it keeps coughing, which makes other people upset when they hear it. When I go out to play with friends, everyone eats well, but you are coughing non-stop and have a runny nose. It is disturbing to see you. appetite.
Explanation: Like most people, every time she catches a cold, Ms. Xu either buys some cold medicine or goes to the hospital, but the result is not so satisfactory.
Ms. Xu, you said that if I catch colds so frequently and take western medicine for a long time, I may produce an antibody, and it won’t work no matter how much you take it. Then I started to give intravenous drips and give me fluids. Isn’t it more straightforward to give me fluids? However, if you give me fluids like this, the cost will be high, and the cost will go up. In fact, every time you catch a cold, you will end up seeing a doctor and going to the hospital once a month. It costs about 200 yuan, which is normal.
Explain that from now on, Miss Xu will need an infusion whenever she catches a cold. Without infusion, the cold will not be cured. This situation seriously affects her work and life.
Because Ms. Xu travels back and forth between several cities, the temperature changes in each city are different. Cold, if you don't pay attention, you will catch cold immediately, causing cold symptoms. I feel like my brain is slow to react, I can't concentrate, and I often make mistakes when doing things.
Explain that Ms. Xu’s career requires her to travel frequently and travel around. Once on a business trip, she almost had a serious accident because of a cold.
Ms. Xu was testing a piece of fabric and found that the fabric had a relatively large color difference. I didn’t notice it at the time because I was dizzy and it might have some impact on my vision, so I couldn’t tell it at all. Then, It passed the customs, which means that this batch of cloth is ready to be shipped. Fortunately, a colleague went with me. He discovered it before it was shipped, and then stopped it in time, otherwise the batch would really be shipped. Situation, this month’s bonus is all gone.
Explaining the experience of that business trip deeply stimulated Ms. Xu. What was the reason for her frequent colds? Ms. Xu came to the Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at her doorstep. She wanted to consult a doctor. This is how Dr. Wang Ting, who received the consultation, viewed Miss Xu’s situation.
The patient Ms. Wang Tingxu, deputy chief physician of the Health and Rehabilitation Center of Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has a condition of being tired from running around. Usually people eat irregularly, are very tired, or have abnormal moods and become very sad. At this time, our Wei Qi will be insufficient, which means that our immunity will temporarily decline. At this time, the probability of external evil infection will also increase.
What does it mean to explain insufficient Wei Qi? Dr. Wang Ting explained that this was actually the root cause of her frequent colds.
Wang Ting, deputy chief physician of the Health and Rehabilitation Center of Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, combined all her clinical symptoms, her pulse, and the appearance of her tongue coating, and we believe that this patient is a weak person with insufficient yang energy. , that is, insufficient yang energy.
The host’s traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that after food enters our intestines and stomach, its nutrients are digested and absorbed and divided into Ying Qi and Wei Qi. Ying Qi mainly travels in our blood vessels. The internal organs provide nutritional qi, and the defensive qi travels outside the blood vessels and is distributed between the pores of the skin, providing protective qi to resist the invasion of external evils. The two qi of Ying and Wei belong to the category of yang qi. The "Huangdi Neijing" says that "when evil comes together, its qi will be deficient", which means that if a person's body is invaded by external evils, his righteousness must not be enough. , especially when the Wei Qi is insufficient, the resistance will decrease, and the chance of being infected by external evils will increase. Just like Miss Xu, she often catches a cold easily. For this group of people, the method used by traditional Chinese medicine is to combine tonic and supplement to enhance resistance.
Explanation Taking into account Miss Xu’s condition, Dr. Wang Ting first prescribed her decoction for half a month. After half a month, the effect of the medicine became apparent.
After Ms. Xu takes the decoction, the most obvious thing is that the days of colds will be shortened. Normally, if you take western medicine, it will usually last about a week. After taking the decoction, the symptoms may disappear in about 3 or 4 days. It has obviously recovered and lightened. This is the biggest benefit.
The effect of explaining the decoction is obvious, but it also brings a lot of troubles.
Every time Ms. Xu goes on a business trip, she brings packets of decoctions. Moreover, it is not cold and is inconvenient to heat up. If it sounds cold, it will be cold when you drink it, and it will bring When I bring it with me, it's all in a bag, and it's all filled with liquid. If I accidentally touch something and it leaks, it will all fall apart, which is very inconvenient.
Combined with Miss Xu’s actual problem, Dr. Wang Ting recommended a special method for her. This time, Miss Xu got back such a box from the hospital, which contained two such jars. , every morning and evening, Miss Xu would scoop out a small spoonful of this dark paste-like substance from the jar and dissolve it with warm water. For this strange thing, Miss Xu drank a familiar taste.
Ms. Xu’s taste is quite good. It’s similar to Guiling jelly. Guiling jelly can be eaten. This tastes similar to Guiling jelly.
The host actually thinks that the black paste-like substance in this jar is not Guiling paste, but it is the same type of traditional Chinese medicine dosage form as Guiling paste, that is, a paste recipe. This is a method specially chosen by Dr. Wang Ting for Ms. Xu based on her work characteristics of frequent business trips. The decoction that Ms. Xu took for half a month also has a special name called Kailu Fang. Normally, the doctor They will first take out the main medicines in the ointment and prescribe a decoction for 7 to 14 days. After the patient takes it, once the effect is obvious, the doctor will prescribe a new medicine on this basis, which will be made through a special production process. Ointment, Ms. Xu has started taking the ointment. How is the effect? We will talk about this later. Dr. Wang Ting also recommended a simple version suitable for making ointment at home to Miss Xu. Let’s learn it together.
To explain the simple paste recipe for home use, you need to prepare these ingredients: 100 grams of astragalus, 100 grams of white ginseng, 200 grams of atractylodes, 200 grams of poria, 200 grams of rehmannia glutinosa, 60 grams of cinnamon, and tangerine peel 200g, 100g windproof, 100g red dates, 100g antler glue.
Wang Ting, deputy chief physician of the Health and Rehabilitation Center of Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is like astragalus, ginseng, and atractylodes. These medicines are all good for replenishing qi. Our cinnamon medicines are warming yang. On the other hand, we We chose some Rehmannia glutinosa, and used a very small amount of Rehmannia glutinosa, which nourishes yin. In addition, we chose tangerine peel, which can strengthen the spleen, appetizer, and promote qi. In addition, for glue, we chose deer antler glue, which has the effect of warming yang. At the same time, it is a flesh-and-blood product, and its warming effect will be more perfect.
Explanation: Next, put astragalus, atractylodes, poria, rehmannia glutinosa, cinnamon, tangerine peel, saposhnikovia, and red dates into a large casserole, add water, and soak for three hours. When soaking the medicinal materials, put the white ginseng into the steamer and steam it for about 10 minutes, then take out the white ginseng and slice it. Then put the sliced ??white ginseng into a small casserole, cook for 30 minutes, and then decant. Make the medicinal soup, ginseng soup and ginseng slices and keep them for a while.
Next, fry the cinnamon separately and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Set the fried concoction aside for later use. In this way, the preparation work is completed.
Host White Ginseng is a type of ginseng and is a valuable Chinese medicinal material. If it is boiled with other medicines for a long time, its active ingredients will be absorbed by other medicinal materials, affecting the effect. So it needs to be cooked separately, and this cinnamon, because it contains an active ingredient called cinnamic aldehyde, which is very volatile, so it needs to be fried first and then added when the paste is collected, so that the most active ingredients are retained. . In addition to white ginseng and cinnamon, this ointment also has a special feature, that is, astragalus, fangfeng and atractylodes. The combination of these three herbs is the classic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, Yupingfeng San. Ancient doctors believed that through the combination of these three herbs, It can make the body's defensive energy stronger, like a screen, it can resist external evils. The effect is very good, and it is as precious as jade, so it is called Jade Pingfeng Powder, which is still used by later generations. I wonder if this ointment can also protect Ms. Xu from catching colds like a screen. Let’s go and see how it is made!
Explanation: After 3 hours, the medicinal materials have been soaked almost. At this time, a certain amount of water needs to be added to the casserole. The amount of water is the second finger of the index finger after the fingertips touch the medicinal surface. Festival. After adding the water, first bring it to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat and simmer for an hour and a half. When decoction, we will deal with the antler glue again. Use a grinder to grind the antler glue into powder, put it into a medium bowl, add an appropriate amount of rice wine, then put it into a steamer and steam it over medium heat for about an hour and a half. When the medicinal materials are cooked, decan out the medicinal soup. This is the first bowl of medicinal soup. Set it aside for later use. Then use the same method to make the second bowl of medicinal soup and the third bowl of medicinal soup. Set aside the medicinal soup for 30 minutes to allow the medicinal residue to settle. At this time, you need to stir the antler glue in the steamer again.
After the medicinal soup has settled for 30 minutes, pour three bowls of medicinal soup into the casserole, then add the cinnamon juice that has been fried in advance, and the white ginseng soup. This ginseng soup is no stranger to Miss Xu.
Ms. Xu’s family sometimes buys me some ginseng and the like, which are quite tonic. But after eating them, it may not work. I start to get angry, have dry lips, and get acne. , the lips will be extremely dry, make you want to drink water, cause blisters, and pimples will appear on your face. Later, I asked the doctor, and it may be that he is deficient and cannot be supplemented, that is, he wants to take supplements, but he still can't eat many things, and he can't take these supplements, which is quite distressing.
Explanation: Since Ms. Xu is not replenished, can this ointment using white ginseng still be used?
Wang Ting, deputy chief physician of the Health and Rehabilitation Center of Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, before we formulate a prescription, we need to have a restraining and balancing effect. We usually use ginseng, which has a Qi-tonifying effect. It is very strong. We usually give it some yin-nourishing drugs, such as Rehmannia glutinosa and Ophiopogon japonicus. The amount will be relatively small, which will restrict its warming properties and make it warm and yang-friendly. can function better. In this way, the patient will not be in a situation where he is deficient and not replenished.
The explanation will continue with the instructions. After adding the ginseng soup and cinnamon juice, bring to a boil over high heat. Wait until the water in the medicinal soup has almost evaporated and the medicinal juice has concentrated like this. Change to a smaller pot and continue cooking. When big bubbles appear in the concoction, add the thawed antler glue and stir continuously with a wooden spatula. When the concoction in the pot can follow the edge of the wooden spatula and "hang a flag" on the wooden spatula, the production is complete. You can put it into a porcelain bottle like this, which is enough for seven days. Take one tablespoon each morning on an empty stomach. It's called Yupingfeng Anti-sore Cream, and its ingredients are slightly different from the cream Ms. Xu got from the hospital at that time, but the effect is the same.
After taking the ointment for a month, Ms. Xu found that this traditional Chinese medicine is very convenient for herself who often travels on business.
Ms. Xu, I packed it myself and put it in a small sealed bowl. I took it with me when I went to other places. Sometimes I went on business trips to other places and stayed in hotels. Nowadays, hotels don’t have mini ones. As for a small refrigerator, put it in the refrigerator, or put it in the refrigerator of an acquaintance's house. When you eat it, just take a spoonful of it when you get up in the morning and a spoonful of it before going to bed at night.
The explanation saves the trouble of carrying. Miss Xu got a surprise after taking the ointment for two months.
Ms. Xu probably went on a business trip to another place around the spring of last year. The temperature here was quite normal, but when she went to another place, the temperature suddenly dropped. After the temperature dropped, I I didn’t prepare any clothes. I thought at the time that maybe it wouldn’t work this time and I caught a cold again. I didn’t know that I was fine after staying for a few days and that I was fine after I came back. I was wondering why the temperature suddenly dropped this time. A process that should be obvious. The weather is particularly easy to catch a cold, but it doesn't cause a cold. I'm wondering if it's because of the ointment.
The host will summarize the steps of the paste recipe. The first is to soak for a long time, the second is to boil three times, the third is to concentrate over high heat, and the fourth is to collect the paste with honey. There is one more thing to note. You, when taking the ointment, do not eat greasy, spicy food, eat less seafood, and do not drink strong tea, coffee and other irritating drinks to avoid affecting the absorption of the ointment. And when you have a cold, you should stop using the ointment, because the gastrointestinal function is weak when you have a cold, which will not only affect the absorption of the ointment, but also aggravate the symptoms of the cold.
